Hi,

I am just testing it and this is just a try, so the book could be improved if I
want.

I can tell you what is strong in this program, but not the weaknesses. This
would not be nice...

1. Very strong when there are all or most pieces on the board as has a superior
understanding on how to move the pieces to achive an advantage.
2. Better than most programs to develop the pieces and it does this in a very
human like way (IM master and above way).
3. Cares more about center control and more space than other programs and know
show to use this in the middle game. This is due to a vaste or very clear chess
knowledge.
4. It use the king in the endgame like a GM. Even if this part is not refined
yet, I am sure it will play the endgames quite well in the final version.

I just have seen some games, so I am completing my knowledge of this program...

Ciao
Sandro
